Kenseth wins after the rain delay. Kenseth will not win The Chase.

Looks to be a 3 man chase now.  Hopefully Gordon can keep up :frown:

What do we think guys?

http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2014/1/30/chase-for-the-nascar-sprint-cup-championship-format-changes.html

I have no idea why the change was made this isn't going to bring in more fans or anything. That being said I'm okay with it I guess. I would have been more excited if they added a road course to the chase and changed the finale from Homestead to Atlanta or Martinsville.

Agreed for the most part. The gradual elimination of drivers every few races throughout the Chase might be interesting (I emphasize "might"). That said, Homestead is no place to have the last race of the season. I could live with Martinsville, but would love Daytona--start and end the season there, with the July race retained.

Daytona would be horrawful because the chasers would literally ride in the back the entire race and then move up the last lap. I hate restrictor plate racing, they have to make it better.

I'm pretty meh on it. I didn't care for the current chase, so i'll give this a shot. Seems like it has a better chance of keeping a Jimmie Johnson type run from happening.

At the end of the day, fans will watch because the racing is good. If they can improve the actual racing, that's all that matters.

Would like a Charlotte/Atlanta/Martinisville/Bristol finish... Homestead is bad.

I wonder if we will see teams try to get all their members in. Like will KyleB slow down to let Denny take first on the last lap of Kansas since Kyle won at Bristol a couple weeks back?

Did you miss what happened when Michael Waltrip Racing tried that at the end of last season? No one will try that again.

I get what they are trying to do and I guess its ok.  Guessing it has more to do with TV viewership than track attendance.  I'm not a big fan of the change but I wasn't a big fan when they went to the chase format either and that turned out ok.  I agree that if you are going to have a winner take all type race then it needs to be moved to a better track (Texas, Atlanta, Marti, Richmond).

I do like the new qualifying format though.

there is a badass rookie class coming in this year if you wanna jump on one of those. But i'd suggest Stewart.

I like it too, but with this format last season we would have had a chase without Earnhardt, Gordon, and Boywer; people would have freaked out.

I meant race qualifying format.  Agree on Chase qualifying though (assuming you were talking about Chase qualifying)

I actually like it, but agree on the finale.

Agree w/ either of those as the last race, too. But I think Bristol would be perfect for it. Go night race, a more stadium style set up, would feel way more big time I think.

Bristol was better this past season but passing there has been an issue since the COT.

The reconfiguration(twice!) hasn't helped.
